Scratch and Grounder entered Robotnik's lab, dragging Tails with them, "Let me go, you creeps!" he shouted.
"NO! NO! NO!" Robotnik stomped his foot, "You nincombots!!! I wanted Sonic's sneakers - not his shrimpy sidekick! He's probably coming here right now! And I just finished repairing your last mess!" he gestured up to the newly patched-up ceiling.
"It was all Grounder's idea!" Scratch pointed the blame at him.
"Well, I thought we could trade him for Sonic's sneakers, your evilness..." Grounder mumbled, staring at the floor.
"You were thinking? That's certainly a twist!" Robotnik replied, "Still," Robotnik pondered, "Perhaps it could work."
"Actually, I inspired him!" Scratch pushed Grounder out of the way.

Down below, outside of the fortress, Sonic stopped aburptly at the doorstep of the fortress. He rapped on the front doors loudly, "Let me in Ro-butt-nik! Or I'll let myself in!" he yelled and stepped back. He glared at the doors, sizing up how much power it would take to bring them crashing down.
* * *
"The hedgehog!" Robotnik exclaimed, "Bind that two-tailed brat, and guard him - I will deal with Sonic," he ordered them, heading out the lab doors.
* * *
Back outside, Sonic was about to ram through the doors, when they suddenly swung wide open, revealing the front hall. Sonic peered inside. There was no one standing in or around the doorway, so he darted inside. As soon as he took a few steps forward into the front hall, the doors slammed shut behind him, and someone turned off the lights, "Hey!"
"Oh, is the little hedgehog scared of the dark?" A familiar voice bellowed into the darkness, "Let me help you then!"
Sonic's eyes had almost adjusted to the darkness when the lights flashed back on, "Hey!" the brightness of the lights blinded him for a second, "Enough tricks, Robotnik! Where's Tails?"
"I'll release him," Robotnik sneered, "When you hand over your shoes."
"What do you want with them?" Sonic snapped.
"Do you want to see your friend alive again or not?" Robotnik challenged him.
Sonic sighed heavily. He didn't have much of a choice here. He carefully undid his laces and took off his special sneakers. A creepy grin appeared on Robotnik's face, he was certainly proud of himself. Sonic hated it when he taunted him like that. Sonic launched the sneakers at Robotnik's head, but he unfortunately ducked just in time, the sneakers bouncing harmlessly off the wall.
"That wasn't very nice!" Robotnik waved a finger, "You're only hurting Tails if you try to harm me, hedgehog," Robotnik reprimanded him and then yelled, "DUMB-BOTS!"
Scratch and Grounder rushed into the room, "Take Sonic to the dungeon. I will torture him later..." Robotnik smiled evilly.
They snatched Sonic, "What about Tails!" Sonic yelled in protest.
"Ha!" Robotnik chortled, "You thought I'd actually just give him to you? Oh Hedgehog! I'd thought you'd know better than to trust me!! AH-HAHAHA!"
"You won't get away with this, Eggbelly!" Sonic threatened.
Robotnik approached Sonic and poked him roughly in the chest, "No, it is YOU who won't get away, rodent - EVER!" he laughed maniacally as Scratch and Grounder dragged Sonic off to the dungeon.
